Ceramic, hand-painted
Probably late 1700s
Two examples of John Wesley memorial plaques issued after Wesley's death in 1791. Many were produced quite cheaply, so they were accessible to most of his followers. Note the letters 'I M' - 'In Memoriam' (In memory of) - on one of the plaques.
Compare also to the other commemorative plaques of John Wesley in the Collection.
